Agree, always thought it (the Lightning Bolt) looked slighly juvenile.
Would've loved it when I was 10 years old though!

Looks good, although would prefer a slightly larger dial and narrower bezel. I love the lightning bolt hand with the red tip - a nice reference to some vintage models.

Now, how about a crack at the Turn-O-Graph? I'd like to see an updated version of that too...

Ah no. At this point just buy a no date Sub.

Better still, buy any Omega Seamaster. Cheaper and is anti-magnetic to fields greater than 15,000 Gauss (and a better movement as well).

I would probably buy it if available. No crown guards, no beefed lugs, it has all I like in the Sub without everything I despise in it. I'm not a huge fan of the lightning seconds hand but I could easily live with it.

Mockup looks great, I would buy it in a heartbeat. It reminds me of the direction rolex went with current explorer ii, having taken some of its design cues from the 1655. People don't tend to drool over the milgauss but this model could change their minds.

Yes, looks great, indeed. Who knows, everything is possible after all...

Yeah, that bezel has me confused. What good is it for?

Add a zero behind each number, and you've got 60 minutes.

Hard pass for me, looks way too much like a SD43.

And it's ludicrous how you ceramic lovers want to put that shit litterally everywhere. It's not everybody who wants to have a toilet bowl sitting on top of all their Rolex watches.

Nope. Z-blue is the king. If I wanted that, I’d just get a sub.

Looks better than the current Milgauss, which is really not my bag at all. I much prefer that one but still not keen on the lightning bolt hand.
